To alwhom it may' con/dem.-

.Be it known that I, JULE H. GILLET, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, con ntyof Wayne, State of Michigan, have in- 3 ventedae'ertain new and useful Improvement 4 in Pnenmatic Toys; and.I declare the follow- 'ing to .be a; full, clear, and exact description of the'invention; such aswill enable-others =skilled in the art to which it appertains to ro make and use the same', reference being had .to the accompanying' drawings, which orr n a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object a. novel pneum'atic toy of .simple and economical construction; and 'it consists of the structure,

combination, and arrangements of devices hereinafter described and claimed, and illustrated in the acconpanying drawings, in

which- Figure lis a View in perpeetive; Fig. 2 is a long'itudinal vertical section.

My invention has for its object to provide a toy for purposes of amusement and to de- 'velop the lungs in which a ball of cork or analogous material mountednpon a hooked spindle is to be elvated :by the breath and the hooked spindle engaged in a ring supported upon an overhanging standard..

v carrying out my invention, A represents' a bodymade .tubular forthe greater part of a standard O,'provided with' a forwardly-proi jecting arm at the'top, as indicated at C', said forwardly-projecting arm bent down- .ward forminga depending arm C, to which is 'attached a ringD, the 'lower end of the depending arm being preferably forned with -an eye `c,`ih which the ring D is engaged. The depending arm C is arranged to support the ring-D over the orifice bin the tube B in the plane of said orifice;

E denotes a floatng body, of co'k or analogons light material`, th-rough which is passed a rod E', formed with a hook E at its upper end. The body E is normally seated upon the upper end of the tube B, the lower end of the rod E' ex'tending downward into the orifice b of said tube, the hooked end projecting above the body E. i

' `In operation the operator placing the proper end of the 'body A to hislips blows through o 'the channels or orifiees a and b, thereby lifting the body E oli its seat, the aim being to. lift the body E, with its hooked rod, so as to engage' the hook E in the ring D and leave the body, with its hooked rod, Suspended upon said ring.` By leaving the outer end of the body A solid it forms a suitable support v for the standard C. i

It will readily be seen that the floating body will be elevatedby a jet of air forced through the body A and tube B, so as to engage and suspend the floating body upon said ring.

. The standard C is 'preferablymad of wire, secured at its lower end in the outerend of the body A, the upperend of said standard shaped of required' form, the forwardly-pros jecting arm C' giving a clearanoe forward of the ipright portion of said standard for the free operation ofthe floa'tig body.

What 1 clain' as my iivention is-- 180 1. Apneum atic toy comprisinga bodymade tu bular at oie endthereof, atdhe supported toward one end of said body and communicating-with the tubular portion thereof, a

standard supported upon the outer .end of said body, a ring supported by said standard over the channel of 'said tube, and afioating. body provided with-a hook to engage said' ring normally seated upon said tube.

2. A pneumatic 'toy com prising a body made 'provided with a hooked red-normally seated upon said tube. i Apneunatic toycomprisinga body made xoo tubular at one end and solid at the opposite end, atube supported toward one endof said .from said arm, and& floating body provided bodyand eommuneatng with the tubulml being adapted t o engage said ringthe manportion thereof, a standard supported uponner described. the solid end of said body provided with a.
